Saliva plays a crucial role in oral defense across mammals by combining host-derived antimicrobial factors with antagonistic indigenous microbiota. Understanding the composition of the oral lactic microbiota in wild canids may provide valuable insights into microbial ecology and animal health. In this study, Lactobacillus and Enterococcus spp. isolated from the saliva of South American bush dogs ( Speothos venaticus ) and mane...
The contrasting effects of vegetation height and density on flow and turbulence in a patch of vegetationNARA Subscribed
Coastal vegetation often grows in spatially distributed patches. However, the influence of individual vegetation patches on small‐scale hydrodynamics has not been well characterized under natural conditions with tidally varying water depths. We present measurements from manipulative field experiments by creating artificial patches of vegetation mimics with different patch heights and densities. We found that increased vegetati...
Mapping wild boar density across Europe: combining spatial models and density estimatesNARA Subscribed
The wild boar population in Europe has been growing in recent decades prior to the arrival of African swine fever (ASF), which has now spread across much of eastern Europe. We obtained two independent sources of wild boar data: occurrence sightings and hunting harvest. We combined these with environmental predictors and used them in two species distribution modelling approaches, a Maxent approach for occurrence data and a GLMM...
Land use change threatens global biodiversity and compromises ecosystem functions, including pollination and food production. Reduced taxonomic α‐diversity is often reported under land use change, yet the impacts could be different at larger spatial scales (i.e., γ‐diversity), either due to reduced β‐diversity amplifying diversity loss or increased β‐diversity dampening diversity loss. Additionally, studies often focus on taxo...
Sea surface temperature (SST) has increased worldwide since the beginning of the 20th century, a trend which is expected to continue. Changes in SST can have significant impacts on marine biota, including population-level shifts and alterations in community structure and diversity, and changes in the timing of ecosystem events. Seagrasses are a group of foundation species that grow in shallow coastal and estuarine systems, whe...
Understanding the response of grass carp to flow and turbulence regimes during early life stages is fundamental to monitoring and controlling their spread. A comprehensive set of hydrodynamic experiments was conducted with live grass carp eggs and larvae, to better understand their drifting and swimming patterns with 3 different in-stream obstructions: (1) a gravel bump, (2) a single cylinder, and (3) submerged vegetation. The...

Functional diversity mediates macroecological variation in plant–hummingbird interaction networksNARA Subscribed
Aim Species interaction networks are known to vary in structure over large spatial scales. We investigated the hypothesis that environmental factors affect interaction network structure by influencing the functional diversity of ecological communities. Notably, we expect more functionally diverse communities to form interaction networks with a higher degree of niche partitioning. Location: Americas. Time period: Current. Major...
